Network - Connection - Meaning

Networking / meeting / connecting with people at events has always been a vital part of our professional and life journey. It's where I made connections that turned into lifelong friendships and career-defining opportunities. But let's be honest, it can be daunting, and those connections that move into transformation and added value are RARE! That's where integrating a tool like TIME&SPACE is reshaping my approach, making it more intuitive and meaningful. Let me share some personal strategies and insights on how you can make the most of your networking experiences at events and how to select the events to attend

1. The Power of Preparation:

• Do Your Homework: Before any event, I check TIME&SPACE looking at who's attending, who has been invited. It's not just about names and titles; it's about finding stories and interests that resonate with mine. to check for the vibe and energy of the event.
• Set Intentions, Not Just Goals: Instead of just aiming to collect contacts or meet new people, I focus on finding people who inspire me or challenge my thinking.

2. Leveraging TIME&SPACE for Deeper Connections:

• Join the Conversation Early: The app isn’t just a logistical tool; it’s a community. Engaging with attendees through the app before the event breaks the initial ice and sets the stage for more profound interactions . new functionality coming soon :)

3. Being Present and Authentic:

• Genuine Interactions: At events, I remind myself to be present. It’s not about being seen; it’s about seeing others. Genuine curiosity leads to genuine connections.
• Digital Mindfulness: I avoid touching my phone during events, to being fully engaged in conversations, knowing that at the end of the event i can connect with those that i want to follow-up and that memories, photos and videos are automatically stored there for me to relieve. No more wondering how to find them when a conversation organically moves on!

4. Quality Over Quantity:

• Meaningful Conversations: I’ve learned that one meaningful conversation is worth more than dozens of handshakes. It’s not about how many people you meet, but how you connect with them.

5. The Follow-Up:

• Sharing Memories: If I snapped a photo with someone, I share it through the app. It’s a warm way to reinforce our connection. Will be a timeless piece forever stored in TIME&SPACE without clutering people phones and clouds :) Also the best way to remember who we met and keep track of all our connections per event.

Conclusion:Connecting with other humans is an art that blends preparation, authenticity, and follow-through. While TIME&SPACE has been a game-changer in streamlining this process, the essence of networking remains the same – building genuine, meaningful connections. Each event is an opportunity to not just expand your network but to enrich your professional and personal life. So, dive in, be curious, be yourself, and watch your netWORK grow organically.
